LA Marijuana Dispensaries Get Reprieve

Activists are poised to gut the ban at the polls if the city doesn't do it first

Today was the day L.A.'s loathed ban on medical marijuana dispensaries was to start.

But yesterday was the day that the L.A. City Attorney's office, long a foe of weed sellers across town, admitted that this ban ain't happening for now. Official so.

The office released a letter by none other than City Hall attorney-in-chief Carmen Trutanich that acknowledges the reprieve.
